Chapter 605

Upon hearing Mo Yi's words, Kiana smiled happily and began to express her feelings.

"At first, I just wanted to find my irresponsible dad, and then I met you—"

"Right, why didn't you agree to let me stay in your room in the first place? I came here because of the rental ad."

Kiana recalled the scene of their first meeting.

"Uh (⊙o⊙)..."

Okay, since the two of them were already so familiar with each other, Mo Yi decided to tell the truth, "You know I have a bunch of strange abilities. In short, I have a way of seeing the future of certain people. For example, you. The moment I saw you, I knew you were definitely going to be a troublemaker. If I got involved with you, all sorts of troubles would definitely follow. Sure enough, my peaceful life of more than ten years changed after I met you."

"First it was you, then Theresa, then Miss Pufferfish, followed by Mei, and then Kallen and Auntie, among others—"

"Tell me, is that how it is?"

Kiana: "..."

Kiana wanted to retort when she heard this, thinking that she was being made into a big problem, but after thinking about it, it seemed that it really was true!

At first, she and Mo Yi lived a good life. She went to work every day to deliver food, made him Heavenly Fire Toast in the morning, packed lunch for them to eat together, and Mo Yi would cook a big dinner for her when she got home. After dinner, they would often watch TV and joke around for a while before going their separate ways. If nothing major had happened, she might have confessed her feelings to him by now.

Hmm, why is it that I'm the one who wants to confess to the other person, instead of the other person confessing to me?

Kiana glanced at Mo Yi and thought to herself, "His personality is too secretive. If nothing unexpected happens and we live a peaceful life together, he's the kind of person who, even if he likes someone, will subtly guide and hint at it before confessing."

But if I hadn't encountered too many unexpected events, would I still have fallen for the other person?

The answer is yes, because she fell in love with Mo Yi not because of the various amazing abilities he displayed, but because she liked the sense of security and companionship he provided in their daily interactions—a sense of security that even her father had never given her.

It's a little embarrassing to admit, but at first she relied on Mo Yi as if he were her former father, and she still does now, though other feelings are stronger.

If he hadn't delivered that takeout, he wouldn't have met Yue Xia, which would have led to Miss Pufferfish, and Mo Yi might have continued to pretend to be an ordinary person.

Without the Yue Xia, the Happy Kallen would never have appeared in their lives.

If Kiana hadn't brought Mei back, based on her understanding of Mo Yi, even if he knew Anti-Entropy was up to in Changkong City, he would most likely have taken her with him and left such matters to those big shots.

If no one else had appeared, and it had always been just her and Mo Yi living in this little home, she would still have fallen in love with him, and then take the initiative to capture Mo Yi and make him her mount (or master).

The wonderful life we once shared as a couple vanished without us even realizing it. Now, thinking back, I really miss it and can't help but imagine "what ifs".

If no one else were around, Kiana might be busy delivering food or doing other work somewhere else. When she returned home in the evening, she could enjoy a delicious meal prepared by her boyfriend Mo Yi. She could then savor the food while complaining about the funny and frustrating things that happened at work that day. After dinner, they would cuddle and playfully tease each other. Mo Yi would likely complain about her sweaty appearance and, after a while, coax her to take a shower. But she wouldn't want to leave him so soon, so she would use all sorts of cute and playful tactics, eventually getting him to carry her to the shower, prepare the hot water, and get her a change of clothes before finally giving in.

As she thought about it, all sorts of heartwarming scenes floated into Kiana's mind.

Of course, Kiana didn't regret it. Although she longed for the life of a couple in the picture, it was not bad to have more friends and family now. It was just that Kiana was always oppressed and suppressed. Even though she came first, she was now being "beaten up" by Mei. It was really frustrating.

Thinking of this, Kiana muttered to herself:

"I should have known better than to bring Mei back!"

Mo Yi: "..."

Mo Yi naturally understood that Kiana was just saying that out of anger, and couldn't help but laugh. He then gently stroked her head and comforted her, "Your meeting with Mei was destined. Even if you hadn't moved in with me, you would have met each other and become best friends."

"On the contrary, it was I who disrupted your original destiny."

Kiana laughed without hesitation:

"It must have gotten better—"

Mo Yi wasn't surprised that Kiana thought that way; he was just curious why she answered so quickly and confidently.

"Why?"

"Because Mo Yi, you've always worked very hard—"

Kiana knew that if the other party hadn't known her, Yue Xia, Mei, and the others, they wouldn't have encountered so much trouble. Although they would have been affected by the Third Honkai Outbreak impact in Changkong City, with the other party's abilities, they could have safely escaped to other places and continued to live a quiet life like Kiana. It was really that simple.

Thinking about this, Kiana couldn't help but feel guilty. But if she could choose again, back to the moment when the other party refused to give her a ride, she would still stay and sit on the steps to wait for the other party to come out.

At first, it was because she wanted to try again. After Mo Yi, the rent here was cheap, the house looked big, and the landlord didn't seem like the strange and annoying old man or woman she had encountered before. He didn't seem to be interested in her body. But now, it's because she doesn't want to give up on meeting Mo Yi and the bond she has always had!

"So I know you'll rewrite our imperfect ending into the ending you want. After all, you're such a fool, always complaining about trouble, yet always thinking of others, and even always forcing yourself."

"Yeah, to use an Area 11 Japanese expression, it's very gentle—"

Mo Yi: "..."

Mo Yi could tell that the other person wasn't criticizing him, but genuinely thought so. However, when he heard the other person call him an idiot and kind, Mo Yi still felt embarrassed and couldn't help but retort, "The only thing I can't accept is being called an idiot."

Kiana: "..."

"Mo Yi, what do you mean by this?!"

Mo Yi: "..."

"Those who fail the exam have no right to call others stupid, especially Top Student like me."

"Waaah—"

Kiana couldn't hold back any longer. She rammed into Mo Yi, knocking the still-weak Mo Yi onto the soft bed. Then, she pressed herself against Mo Yi, puffing out her cheeks like an angry cat, and said, "I just didn't study hard enough—"

"Why bother learning those things? My goal used to be to become S-rank Cultivator, but now I'm an S-rank Valkyrie. Learning things like history and Mandarin is just a waste of time and energy."

"Kiana, you haven't done this in a long time."

I don't know when it started, but Kiana gradually turned into Hachiski. When Mo Yi first met her, she was more like a proud Persian Cat. He still remembers the first night when Kiana chased him with a pillow after he teased and played with her. She chased him to his door, but he defeated her with a "casually closing the door" move. In the end, she could only bang on the door and threaten him helplessly before slinking back to her room.

Kiana was so lively, carefree, and proud back then.

Of course, it's not that things are bad now, but in Mo Yi's eyes, the other party's deliberate change seems a bit like trying too hard to please him, and it's too tiring.

"But at least consider me as a patient."

"You..."

Perhaps because her intelligence and emotional intelligence were at their peak, Kiana easily understood the meaning behind Mo Yi's words. Then, she carefully placed her pretty face on Mo Yi's chest, as if listening to Mo Yi heartbeat, and whispered, "I don't know when it started, but I found that I can no longer live without you. I would definitely go crazy if I didn't have you."

Kiana's voice was very gentle, completely different from her usual speaking style.

"Ever since I learned about my background, I've been even more afraid that you'll leave me too."

You're overthinking it—

Sensing Kiana's unease, Mo Yi reached out to comfort her, soothing her uneasy heart as if stroking her fur as the Miss Pufferfish always did, saying, "This will always be your home."

"Um--"
